VIRUSES!
Slide 2-

CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Virus Structure 3. Virus Replication 4. Virology 5. Virus and Medicine 6. Review Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review
Slide 3-

We have all gotten viruses… from bacteria, plants to animals. Viruses cause colds, flu, warts and diseases such as measles, AIDS and cancer. AND not all viruses are harmful to humans. BUT not all viruses cause diseases, Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review
Slide 4-

WHAT IS A VIRUS? Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine – Review
Slide 5-

Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review A VIRUS is either DNA or RNA, that is protected by a protein coat called a CAPSID. DNA CAPSID VIRUS
Slide 6-

Why are some viruses harmful? Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review Virus invades cell Virus forces cell to make copies of virus Eventually so many copies are made, the cell explodes, releasing all of the new viruses When your cells make viruses instead of operating normally, YOU get sick

Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review Examples of some viral diseases:

Who do viruses infect? Viruses infect Bacteria These viruses are called bacteriophages Viruses infect Plants One example is the Tobacco Mosaic Virus Viruses infect Animals One example is the common cold Viruses usually infect a specific host including: Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review
Slide 9-

Let’s look at the Defining Properties of Viruses Viruses are parasites that invade cells Viruses have either DNA (Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) or RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) Viruses direct the synthesis of new virus within a host cell. Newly made viruses infect other cells. Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review
Slide 10-

Cell Biology Let's review a little cell biology since viruses cannot multiply without the help of cells. The viruses enter the cell and forces the cell to make more viruses. The cell has three main zones: Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review nucleus membrane cytoplasm Cytoplasm – this is the “factory” where biochemical reactions occur. Membrane – this double layer protects the cell and allows the cell to communicate with the outside environment. Nucleus – this holds the DNA or genetic information about the cell.
Slide 11-

DNA/RNA DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, is the double-stranded molecule that encodes genetic information (e.g. your hair color, height, etc.) in the nucleus of cells. The complete set of DNA in a cell is called the genome. RNA, ribonucleic acid, is typically single stranded so that it can be read to make proteins. Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review DNA or RNA code for genes that defines who we are.
Slide 12-

How small is a virus? Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review
Slide 13-

If a cell was the size of your classroom, then an average virus would be the size of a softball. Viruses range in size from 20 nanometers (nm) – 250 nanometers (nm) 1 nm = 0.00000004 inches 10-5 m 10-6 m 10-7 m 10-8 m 10-9 m 10-10 m 0 m viruses animal cells bacteria proteins atom Go five more feet!
Slide 14-

Helical Capsids Helical capsids are rod-like structures with the RNA in the center of the helix. A helix is made by stacking repeating units in a spiral. RNA protein coat Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review
Slide 15-

Tobacco Mosaic Virus Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) is an example of a virus with a helical structure. Protein subunits wrap around the spiraling RNA strand. Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review This image taken using an Electron Microscope
Slide 16-

Adenovirus Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review Adenoviruses cause diseases like pink-eye or the common cold
Slide 17-

Bacteriophage Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review Bacteriophage is a virus that infects bacteria.
Slide 18-

Enveloped Viruses Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review Enveloped viruses are viruses which have a membrane coat surrounding the protein coat or capsid. These viruses are common in animal viruses, but are uncommon in plant viruses. Herpes Simplex Virus. A membrane (made of proteins) surrounds the capsid (also made of proteins) which surrounds the viral DNA.
Slide 19-

How do viruses replicate? Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review
Slide 20-

Replication Phases V - Release Assembly of virus DNA and protein coat into whole new viruses Leaving the cell http://www.cat.cc.md.us/courses/bio141/lecguide/unit2/viruses/adlyt.html Phase I Phase II Phase IV Phase V Phase III Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review I, II, III - Viruses enter cell Attachment to cell membrane Penetration inside cell Losing virus protein coat IV - Replication Tricks cell into making more viral DNA Tricks cell into making viral protein coat
Slide 21-

The concept of a virus as an organism challenges the way we define life: * Viruses do not breathe. * Viruses do not metabolize. * Viruses do not grow. * However, they do reproduce. Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review

Are Viruses Living? Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review Create a table where one column represent properties of living organisms and the second column represent properties of a virus.

A Brief History of Virology Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review ~1400BC First written record of virus infections in heiroglyphics found in Memphis, Eygpt 100BC – China Protection from smallpox using variolation practice 1796 - Vaccination Edward Jenner vaccinated a boy with cowpox-infected material 1880 – Germ Theory Robert Koch & Louis Pasteur Pasteur identified rabies to be cause by an agent he termed “virus” from the Latin for ‘poison’. 1892 beginning of virology Dmitri Iwanowski showed that ceramic filtered extracts from diseased plants could transmit disease to other plants. 1898 Martinus Beijerinick work on TMV Freidrich Loeffler & Paul Frosch work on foot-and-mouth disease in cattle 1909 Landsteiner & Popper Poliomyelitis (Yellow Fever) was the first human disease to be recognized as a viral disease 1950-2003 Discoveries of Ebola, West Nile, HIV, SARS 1915-1917 Bacteriophages (eaters of bacteria)Frederick Twort & Felix d’Herelle discovered viruses which infect bacteria.

Atomic Force Microscope – A tiny tip probes a surface, from which the shape of the surface can be determined X-ray Crytallography – X-rays are directed at a sample. How those rays scatter can be used to determine the structure of that sample Techniques to Study Viruses
Slide 25-

Filters – Very small holes in material filter only viruses through Sedimentary Centrifugation – A sample is spun so fast, different elements in it are separated by density Electron Microscope – Electrons are smaller than light wavelengths, so viruses can be “seen” by reflecting electrons off of them
Slide 26-

Viruses Can Help Cells, Too Introduction – Structure – Replication – Virology – Medicine - Review Since viruses can transport DNA and RNA into cells, scientists are exploring Gene Therapy In Gene Therapy, viral genetic material is replaced with new DNA In time, this could be used to cure genetic diseases. Currently we have no cure for these types of illnesses
Slide 27-

The End! And Review Viruses are very simple: a shell containing either DNA or RNA. They infect by hijacking cells’ machinery to force them to make more viruses. Viruses are tiny, even compared to a cell. Some viruses may prove useful in gene therapy as natural carriers of DNA that was specially designed to be good for a particular reason.

VIRUS Host Parasite A living thing that provides a source of energy for a virus or an organism Organisms that live on or near a host and cause it harm. A tiny, nonliving that invades and then multiplies inside of a cell. A virus that immediately goes into action. It begins to take over cell functions and produce the virus’s proteins and genetic material.These parts then assemble into new viruses. The viruses multiply like a copy machine left on. When it is full it bursts open – releases the new viruses and dies. Some viruses hide for a while and become part of the cell’s genetic material. It may stay inactive and “hidden” for years. Then under certain conditions it becomes active and acts like an active virus. Ex – cold sores
